No doubt in my mind that you will handle anything they can thro atcha. I do however, understand the anxiety. I,'ve acquired some myself yesterday. Got told my gall bladder must come out. I said I didn't mind as long as I can go to this plow day. Been telling mother that I,'ve been looking forward to this so much I knew something was bound to happen. See ya in 2 1/2 weeks.

Being it's not the busiest of the season yet, and the fact the ground is wet to China, I don't have to be there till 8. So after feeding silage & eating breakfast it's now coffee time with you guys for a few minutes.

Been last April 28th since I fed silage in the dark like this morning. Hadn't missed it a bit, but I'm back to it till pasture gets growing good. Still lots of sinus problems, but can make the day easy enough. Both looking forward to today and a little uneasiness due to my body not being what it used to be. I have no idea what will be on my work agenda today, but I'll find out soon enough.

Had a great 1st day! I got off at 5, but ran out to Mom's as it's her 91st birthday, and needed to refill their med dispensers, so just now getting home. Had to listen & take online quizzes for workplace sexual/physical/non-verbal harassment, deterring company theft, customer security......you all likely know the drill, but new to me. That took 2 1/2 hours at least. But Dane and I cut the fertilize bin off a spreader buggy and sat it on a brand new chassis and got it all welded in place. Tomorrow we'll likely finish it. Torching & welding was just like being at home repairing my own stuff, so right up my alley. The people I work with are great, and I knew most of them for years as friends. I may end up driving a fertilizer spreading machine. The current driver sees a specialist next week about 4 bulging discs in his neck. Likely he'll have surgery, and if he does, I might be driving this:

Gotta eat, shower & sleep, but gotta run back out to Dad's first. Problem with his med dispenser.

Glad your first day went well Daniel, I used to spread lime with a Frightliner tri-axle and fertilizer with a old IH S model single axle, I have some old pics but I will have to scan them as it was long before I owned a digital camera!!!!
